So I'm a big fan of the Director's Audio Commentary on DVDs. I've seen the ones for Sympathy for Mr Vengeance, Oldboy and Lady Vengeance and director Chan-wook Park and Cinematographer Chung-hoon Chung gave great insight of how they approached the films Oldboy and Lady Vengeance (Ryoo Seung-wan accompanied Chan-wook Park on Sympathy for Mr.Vengeance DVD commentary), which I really enjoyed.
From what I understand the Region 1 DVD for I'm a Cyborg, But That's OK does NOT have director's commentary and I am completely bummed about it. From looking online I found out that only a Region 3 DVD for I'm a Cyborg, But That's OK on Amazon has audio commentary with both director Chan-wook Park and Cinematographer Chung-hoon Chung but in Korean ONLY and NO subtitles at all.
Anyway, this movie has an amazing visual style almost Amelie-like and does not look like any of director Chan-wook Park previous work. I also know this is the first Korean movie to use the Thomson Viper Camera, so I am dying to know how they approach this film with lighting setups as well as knowing what lenses they used for filming the movie as they mentioned previously for both Oldboy and Lady Vengeance in their audio commentaries.
Bottom line, I don't know Korean or know any Koreans who would sit with me and translate the audio commentary for me play by play if I bought the Region 3 DVD(Sounds ridiculous I know. Just saying, wont do it though tempted). So, what I am really asking for is if anyone who happens to know Korean and has seen or owns the movies DVD with the audio commentary with both director Chan-wook Park and Cinematographer Chung-hoon Chung to PLEASE send me a message if you can. I am NOT asking you to translate the whole commentary for movie, all I am asking if you could maybe tell me the basic notes like what lenses they used and some basic film approach that they happen to emphasize on during the commentary. So, basically just a few lines of info would be great even if you only list all the lenses they used for filming if possible through the commentary.
As I know that I am asking for something extremely unusual I do NOT expect an actual reply or anything for this. All I can say is that I would really appreciate it if someone would so kindly take the time to provide me with basic cliff notes of how director Chan-wook Park and Cinematographer Chung-hoon Chung approached this film. So I can put my curiosity of this movie to rest, which will surely keep on bothering me for some time until I find some kind of answer and if I dont well then too bad for me. Anyway, I just thought Id give it a long long long shot.
